Navigation Route Pointer Help

TimP

I’ve searched the forum and can’t see this is answered but apologies if it’s been covered many times.

 I was following a 90k bike route I’d downloaded to the 530 and was getting turn by turn assurance which was very useful. At the turnaround point approx half way I didn’t go exactly to the very end of the navigation route/file (half way was on a peninsular and I turned around perhaps 50m early). I started on my way back retracing the route but then I. Prices The navigation arrow wanted to take me back to the point where I hadn’t finished that part of The route and it stopped giving me turn by turn assurance.  Question - is there any way you can take a menu option to say I want to follow the route from this point but don’t keep trying to force me back. My preference woulD
be not to restart the navigation  

many thanks for any assistance

    The Edge 530/830 seem to be very insistant on returning you to exactly where you allegedly left the route. Did you stop the route at some point after those off-course notifications? Because I noticed that it will actually take a few kilometers/miles before the unit will give up and accept that you skipped a section of the course.

    Also, was your route before and after the u-turn mostly identical or were those different paths/roads? I could image that the unit might get confused if off-course and not sure whether you're already on your way back.

    You could always stop the route (without stopping the activity/recording) and load it up again. It should pick up navigation wherever you are on teh course - however, again, I'm not sure how it behaves if the way out and back are identical (I'd hope it'd take direction of movement into account).

    Many thanks. Yes the u turn point was identical for about 6kms before looping a slightly different way home. As you say it might have got confused. I stopped looking at the map because it wasn’t playing ball after that so perhaps I stick with it for longer if that happens again. Thanks for The response.
